I would love to get some Corsa clones, Strano springs, and a few stainless things from emblempros & call it a wrap. They are all on my "Merry Christmas to myself" Christmas list. Just cant justify the $500 right now

I am going to repaint the front & rear bumpers and headlight covers sometime this month to get rid of the little rock chips in them. What do you guys think about redoing the ceta part in a dark silver like the Blackbirds?

I'm 100% on the Blackbird style, I like it alot better than the CETA. I did mine on my old white T/A Graphite Metallic, Its kinda hard to tell in these pics but you can kinda see..

Looks good, and will look much better when you get the springs and the tips.

They don't stick out. They are inside the fender at the top. You know how the TA bumper tapers inward toward the rear. With how high the car sits it makes it look like they do at certain angles, but they don't. They are fbody offsets.

No love for the SLP tips huh? lol

They are stainless, but I honestly don't care for them either and wish I didn't have the loudmouth. Anyone with a Flowmaster or Hooker wanna trade haha

Car looks good but ive always wondered why your TA seems to sit higher than almost any other around here?? It looks super high! LOL!! I just dropped mine but in stock form it never sat so high! Please post pics when you get it lowered!

I know! It really is sky high. A 1" drop wouldn't do jack for me. I can fit over 4 fingers between the tire and the bottom of the fender . It rides nice though

You better believe that when it gets lowered I am going to post 952345 pics

I like the tips...and the wheels a lot, not so much the gto wheels

I think the black or graphite rear panel would look awesome too, that and lower it and you have a winner in my book, gorgeous car (and i normally dont care for silver so that means a good bit)
